This is a list of winners and nominees of the Children's and Family Emmy Award for Outstanding Host. The category was established at the 1st Children's and Family Emmy Awards in 2022, and is open to performers of all genders. The current holder of the award is Tabitha Brown, who won at the 2nd Children's and Family Emmy Awards for presenting her YouTube series Tab Time.
On November 17, 2021, the NATAS announced the creation of the Children's and Family Emmy Awards to recognize the best in children's and family television. The organization cited an "explosive growth in the quantity and quality of children’s and family programming" as justification for a dedicated ceremony. Many categories of the awards were previously presented at the Daytime Emmy Awards.[1] While both the Daytime and Primetime Emmy Awards have honored hosting with various categories, there has never been an award specifically dedicated to hosting in children's programming until the establishment of this category.
